Tax code not entered on IRP5 for tax exemption. How do I get this fixed?

  Written by Marc   Posted 31 July 2013

I have worked out of the country last year for more than 183 days and 60 days continuous.
We do not do this every year, so my employer did not enter the tax code under (Reason for Non deduction of employees tax) (4150) . They said it is to difficult now to change it.

What will I be able to do, to get this fixed, it will probably only be for one last year. Should I go to the Tax office and try to explain?

Thanks

Can I amend my ITR12 to reflect a correct deduction after its been audited?

  Written by Marc   Posted 30 July 2013

Can I amend my ITR12 to reflect a correct deduction? I put a deduction for a work laptop that I purchased (I have a laptop allowance) in the wrong section and it was disallowed, so I need to change it. My ITR12 has already been audited and I've been refunded, but the disallowed deduction means I'm owed about R1300 by SARS.
